Variable argument count?

Foo(1, 2, true, 999); 


I cannot quite get this to work. I inserted echoo({bar, baz}); into the function body for testing. Indeed it outputs 1,2 as I expected.

And thus, the above function can literally be transcribed into:

PHP Code:

function Foo()
{
    bar = params[0];
    baz = params[1];
} 


Now when I do this, the output is "",0. If I say echo(params), I do not get any output at all. Am I missing something here?

This is not dissimilar to C#'s implementation of parameters, if you're into that:

PHP Code:

// C#
private void Foo(params object[] parameters)
{
     var bar = parameters[0];
     var baz = parameters[1];
} 


I think it is indeed dissimilar, because I could call that function with a single array instead of a list of parameters.
